Moving in Chestermere
A moving company in Chestermere, Alberta: what to expect
Here is what our crews have learned working in Chestermere so far. Lakefront properties often have a long walk from the street down to the house, and some have the main entrance on the lake side - we scout the carry path before quoting.
Estate homes on the lake mean high-value furnishings and long carries. We bring a four-person crew as standard for lakefront addresses.

Moving in Chestermere, Alberta: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Lakefront homes sit on East Chestermere Drive (odd numbers), West Chestermere Drive (even numbers) and Cove Road, two-lane roads where the house side leaves no room to stage a truck. Chestermere Boulevard continues Calgary's 17 Avenue SE straight into town, while Highway 1 runs along the north edge.
The homes and buildings here
There are only about 350 lakefront lots, and they range from original cottages and modest four-season homes to rebuilt estate houses on long narrow parcels. Inland, Westmere, Rainbow Falls and Kinniburgh are 2000s and 2010s two-storeys, usually with an attached garage and a developed basement.
Who moves in Chestermere
Chestermere grew from 1,043 residents in 1992 to 22,163 at the 2021 census and was named Alberta's fastest-growing town in 2014. It became a city in 2015 and shares a boundary with Calgary, so most moves are east-Calgary families upsizing and long-time cottage owners selling to builders.
One tip for your Chestermere move
Open your City utility account before possession with the service address and date ready; new residential accounts carry a $300 deposit unless you enrol in pre-authorized payment and e-billing. Call 403-207-7071 or email utilities@chestermere.ca, since the account page has changed addresses on the City site.
Planning your move around Chestermere Lake
Share the pickup and delivery addresses when you request your Chestermere quote. The local routes include Highway 1 (16 Avenue), Stoney Trail, Chestermere Boulevard, Rainbow Road; the exact entrance and loading space matter as much as the destination.
- Describe the property and each floor being moved. Local housing includes large lakefront estate homes, newer two-storeys in Chelsea and Kinniburgh, and older cottages near the water; note stairs, narrow doors and furniture that needs taking apart.
- Confirm the agreed truck parking point at both addresses. Tell us whether loading is from the street, a driveway or a building bay and get any required permission before the move.
- Moving between Chestermere and Calgary and Langdon? Include both access arrangements and possession times in the quote request.

Which moving company serves Chestermere?
VC Movers does - on dedicated days, at the same published rates as Calgary. Compare us with any Chestermere moving company you like, but ask them the same three questions first. What is the truck fee, the minimum and the stair policy - in writing?
What should I tell you about my Chestermere address?
The access. Lakefront properties often have a long walk from the street down to the house, and some have the main entrance on the lake side - we scout the carry path before quoting. So mention it on the first call, and then we size the crew for it.
How long does a move in Chestermere take?
The housing here is large lakefront estate homes, newer two-storeys in Chelsea and Kinniburgh, and older cottages near the water. So once everything is boxed, a two-bedroom usually runs 4-6 hours, while a three-bedroom runs 6-9.
Do I pay for the drive to Chestermere?
Not separately. Your drive of 25 minutes from central Calgary sits inside the single truck hour on every quote. So we never bill the drive at the hourly rate in both directions.
Do you move on weekends and evenings in Chestermere?
Yes - we run crews 24/7, including evenings and holidays. For a month-end or Saturday date in Chestermere, though, book two to three weeks out. Inside 48 hours, phone 587-966-1551 rather than emailing.
